The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the cycle in kilometers per hour, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Circumference of the Wheel The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by: \[ C = 2 \pi r \] where \( r \) is the radius of the wheel. Given: - Radius \( r = 77 \) cm - \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \) Substituting the values: \[ C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 77 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Circumference Calculation Calculating the above expression: \[ C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 77 = \frac{44 \times 77}{7} \] Calculating \( 44 \times 77 \): \[ 44 \times 77 = 3388 \] Now, substituting this back: \[ C = \frac{3388}{7} = 484 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Total Distance Covered in 500 Revolutions The distance covered in one revolution is equal to the circumference. Therefore, the total distance \( D \) covered in 500 revolutions is: \[ D = 500 \times C = 500 \times 484 \] Calculating this: \[ D = 242000 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 4: Convert Distance from Centimeters to Kilometers To convert centimeters to kilometers, we use the conversion factor \( 1 \text{ km} = 100000 \text{ cm} \): \[ D = \frac{242000}{100000} = 2.42 \text{ km} \] ### Step 5: Convert Time from Minutes to Hours The time given is 5 minutes. To convert this into hours: \[ \text{Time in hours} = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Speed of the Cycle Speed \( S \) is given by the formula: \[ S = \frac{D}{\text{Time}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ S = \frac{2.42}{\frac{1}{12}} = 2.42 \times 12 = 29.04 \text{ km/h} \] ### Final Answer The speed of the cycle is: \[ \text{Speed} = 29.04 \text{ km/h} \] ---
